BosToN, Dec. 29.-The details of SEN
sational tragedy resulting in the death Of
Two Young givla who viii IS bnfipd in
Mount Hope Gem sterp Tomorrow, s!c
printed tbis morning. The matter
although known to the authorities some
time, has been sacredly guarded and not
a breath OF the affair has before been
made public. Sadie Bigelow and Lizzie
Hart, aged respectively Is and 10 years
came to Boston two or three years ago
and secured employment ia large dry
goods house here. Sadie fell III love with
respectable business mEn of this city
and they were married
Soon after, however, they separated,
owing, it is said to the husbands abuse.
The two girls went to New York and were
employed there for time in a large retail
house, but returned to Boston, where they
formed the acquaintance of two young
men. On Christmas night the four were
together at a house On BOwdoin street and
drank wine there. Before separating they
had serious dispute. The men, however,
put the girls aboard the car, on the way
to their south end lodgings. The girls
were in an excited state when they
boarded the car and at once discussed
with each other plans for taking their own
lives. Leaving the car they obtained two
boxes of "Rongh on Rats" at an apothe.
cary shop and hurrying to their rooms
mixed the poison i'll their tooth brusl,
mugs and swallowed it. Sadie took an
overdose, and did not feel its effects ms
soon as did Lizzie, who sank into deer
Stupor. Sadie realizing what had been
done, rushed into the sire ct and hurried
back to the Bowdoin street house where
the young men still were. Finding them
she implored them to hurry to the south
end house and save Lizzie. BY this time
the poison was taking effect on Sadie, and
throwing herselfUpont the bed she writhed
in fearful agony. Medical aid was sum
moned, but after six hours of suffering
she died. The young men finally decided
to go to Lzzie's house and break the new
to her. They called there, and upo1
reaching Lizsie's room she was found
lying dead upon her bed.

mccabe Defeats mullen In n Barn
Near EranA ford


Near Franz ford
The Philadelphia Rtcord of Saturday
says: Frank McCabe and James Mullen
fought in private to finish with hard
gloves in barn near Frankfort for $50
side early yesterday morning. McOabe
was in fine condition, weighing about 1872
pounds, while Mullen was fat and tipped
the beam at las pounds. There were
about 20 persons present besides the prin-
cipals and seconds. Mule @ppened the
first round with rush at McCabe, swing
ing both right and left. Tie landed two
or three times with his right, but too far
back on the neck and bead to do mnch
damage. McCabe meantime was working
away ut Nullen'H stomach. MeCabe was
down three times in the second round,
but none of them wero square knock
downs. Mullen's exertions aud want of
condition began to tell in the third rouud,
especially 0s McCabe kept working away
mt his stomach. Mullen was staggering,
and Nc Cahe pushed things in the fourth
round, swinging his left with effect six
or seven times. McOabe went in to finish
his man in the fifth round, and probably
wCnld have succeeded but for an inter-
rupion. Three men who had the straight
tip, but who were late at the place of
meeting, knocked at the door. The peo-
pie inside, thinking the police
were coming, made grand soram-
BILE for ss-A windows. The mis-
take was soon discovered, but
it was several minutes before the men got
together again. Mcoabe sailed in at the
opening Of the sixth round, while
Mullen did nothing but hug, Mullen's
eye was badly cut and he wanted to stop
in che seventh round, but his seconds
pushed hun up, with his eye bleeding
profusely. McCabe jabbed him repeatedly
in the face, and the blood streamed down
his face and breast. Mullen tried to kee p
away in the eighth round, but McCsbe
chased him up and slugged away until he
got tired. Mullen was pushed up for the
ninth round, but was unable to stand,
and finally held up his hands and refused
TO fight. McCabe was declared the winner.
